Default How big of an issue is....

How big of an issue is it to run charge piping in very close proximity to hot side piping? I am thinking of a rear mount on the vette and running charge piping up to the front down the center tunnel along side or just beneath with oval'd piping the hot side X-pipe. If I wrap the hot side, is there going to be much negative effect or heat transfer from the hot to the cold? Also this is pre-intercooler so I believe some of the issue would be sorted out at the intercooler. Any other downfalls or is this even a problem to concern? Thanks!

There will still be some heat transfer but as long as you wrap it, I wouldnt think it would raise your temps too much since alot of it will be sorted out in the IC.

Just curious, how close is it?

Hey superman, no issues... I had my cold side touching my wrapped hot side in several spots and my intake temps were always cool. Let her eat!!!

sounds good. I see you going front now Tracy, what are you doing with the rest of the rear mount stuff (mainly stand alone oiling )
